Having a hard time... DD is having her first birthday and I thought i would try. I really don't even know where to look for this. if there is a website that can search for those allergens, that's also great. I haven't had to put much thought into this yet, as just been feeding single ingredients or dinner-like recipes.

I've had good luck using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free flour plus a bit of xanthan gum and just subbing that for regular flour in vegan recipes. I don't think I've made a cake with that method yet, but it does work well for quick breads, so it should be good for cakes too.

We keep a bag of Bob's Red Mill GF chocolate cake mix on hand for times when I'm in dire need of cupcakes. I make it with rice milk and flax meal eggs. It's really good, especially with chocolate chips mixed into the batter!

For my son's birthday, I adapted the cake recipe from Sassy Radish that I made and absolutely loved for my own birthday. I used a sorghum flour/potato starch/tapioca starch blend that I use for just about anything to replace the flour, So Delicious coconut milk yogurt for the sour cream, and Ener-G egg replacer for the eggs. Frosting was powdered sugar, Spectrum shortening, vanilla extract, and rice milk. People came back for seconds, and the birthday boy and I were the only two who couldn't have eaten "normal" cake.

Definitely check out Gluten Free Goddess. We're avoiding the same things you are plus some, and she's my hero.

I just make cakes from better homes & gardens and use oatmeal for the flour (I grind it up in my blender), apple sauce for the oil/butter/margerine, 1/2tsp baking powder for each egg, and soy milk (or oat milk or almond milk or rice milk) for the milk.
